“What is that to you?” is a profound biblical principle. “Each servant answers to his own master” is another expression of the same principle. Meddling in the affairs of others without scriptural warrant is not just wrong on the face of it, but it also is the reason why many Christians fail to meddle in their own affairs. When we take up something we shouldn’t, it is often because we want to be occupied so that we don’t have to take up something we should.
Objections crowd into our minds. Shouldn’t we be loving each other? Yes, of course, the way the Bible says to. As C.S. Lewis once memorably put it, don’t let your loved ones be recognizable by their hunted expression. So here is the Pauline principle again—tend to your own knitting. (via Tend To Your Own Knitting.)
